I think so too. I don't know that he's a starter but I get Ryan Fitzpatrick type vibes.

Duggan dropping dimes early. That should've been a TD.

TCU with an early bomb. Already close to FG range.

TCU's punt returner just fielded a punt at the 2 in a crowd. That could've been disastrous but luckily for them just amounted to a run of the mill dumb decision. They'll start on the 7.

It wasn't bad at all.

TCU vs. Kansas State about to kickoff. I had no idea who Ashanti was prior to a couple of minutes ago, but now I know that she's wish.com Mariah Carey.

This thread is fandom Stockholm Syndrome.

A lot of it comes down to idiotic match making too. The conference tie-ins need to stop. I mean, you end up with matchups like Wake Forest vs. South Carolina in say El Paso, TX. Who in the fug is going to that game? That makes no sense. But put that game in Charlotte and it's a different story.

I don't think it'll be an issue. You don't see guys sitting out of playoff games or conference championship games, just the also ran bowls. They just let the bowl system grow so massive that going to a bowl game lost all prestige. You have to flat out suck now to not qualify for a bowl. It doesn't mean anything anymore. Then they changed the names of most of the bowls to corporate sponsors and people kind of lost track of the "real" bowl games. So now you have the playoffs and then to a much lesser extent the New Year's Eve six bowls and nothing else matters. That's just the real truth. Some of these bowls look like they're attended at the level of a local HS game.

When I started digging into his college background and saw that he'd only ever beaten two ranked teams, those being ECU and Navy.

Because they didn't qualify for their conference championship game. So just like Bama a few years ago, they essentially get an unearned bye week.

Earlier in the week the weather in Charlotte for tonight looked dicey but it looks like all the rain should be cleared out well before kickoff at 8pm. Looks like perfect football weather to me.

Honestly, by and large college games have been a lot more entertaining than the NFL this year and I'm not just saying that because the Heels have been pretty good and the Panthers have sucked per usual. There's just been a lot of bad football played in the NFL this season.

I don't understand why we have to wait until '24-25 to get the expansion to 12 teams. Just fuging do it already. I'd give all five P5 champs automatic bids and then 7 wildcard spots.

Straight up beatdown. Wood shedding. Raw dogging. Blowout. Whatever you wanna call it, but Utah is whoopin' dat ass.

I was gonna say earlier that he's reminiscent of Darnold when the first read isn't open in that he just kinda freezes and looks lost. He's still a helluva lot better than Darnold ever was. He has a ton of tools but his processing has to get better and speed up. Holy poo, Utah has blown this game wide open. This is over

Well, Williams just threw the game away.

Ouch. The DB fell down. I assumed it was a busted coverage.

I was actually talking about Utah's backup though.

Honestly, no. I'm half watching, half working, occasionally posting. Was he that bad?

This game is everything I hoped it would be. This is fun.

I was fine with it not being targeting but it'll be interesting to see if the officiating gets dicey down the stretch. Because yeah, the Pac-12 would MUCH rather USC win this game.

If my backup QB was worth a damn I'd call a play action deep bomb in that situation. Everyone expects you to just hand it off and then get your starter back out there.

Holy poo! Cam Rising just got absolutely OBLITERATED! I can't believe he just bounced back up from that.

Williams with hampered mobility looks completely hapless.
